Issei huddled in his bed, left to stew over what had happened until his injuries healed up. Caster... Caster had stabbed his boyfriend and could have killed him...

Why had he let his guard down for her?! Wasn't he the one who always said that women could be devious, could control the minds of men? He hadn't meant that last part so literally, but it just went to prove his point!

He couldn't trust anyone again, if that meant letting his friends come to harm... But he had thought she was his friend.
